Perfect

Chapter Nineteen

-ALEX-

   One of my hands from her waist travelled up into her long, dark hair, and then I guided my thumb gently across her cheek as I gradually pulled away from her, only by a few millimetres.

   She kept her eyes closed, and just stood there for a few seconds.

   Well I definitely wasn't dreaming that, and if I was, I never wanted to leave this dream. My heart racing as I pulled away made sure I knew that this was actually happening.

   She had the softest, most kissable lips ever. It had driven me mad the past few days not being able to kiss those lips, especially with all of that lip biting business she had clearly did on purpose the last few times. 

   When she opened her eyes, it took a few bats of her eyelids before she found herself back in this universe again, making me smile as I watched her flustered state. This girl is too cute for words.

   "Goodnight, Miss Perfect." I whisper back to her, pulling away from her completely and stepped down from her door step, beginning to walk off to my car parked just before me.

   My heart was still racing, my palms became slightly clammy, and I knew I had to get myself into the car fast before I did what I want to do: Completely freak out and party that I, yes I, managed to kiss Ava Perfect.

   I look back at her once more before getting into my car, and just saw her still stood there, only this time her hand to her lips, still holding onto her house keys.

   Literally only managed to get down a few streets before I had to park the car, and just sit there, in completely awe of the past 10 minutes.

   It was then when I let out a huge laugh, my hands still on the steering wheel as I put my forehead onto it also, muttering "Fucking hell."

   I never did swear, because I was so well media trained since the age of about 4 that swearing never came naturally to me. The only times I found myself swearing were when I was extremely angry, or extremely... Happy.

   I am so frigging glad of the past events.

   I literally sat there for about 20 minutes, completely ignoring the thousands of times my phone was going off with text message alerts and phone calls, all probably from my Mother who was going out of her mind at where I was, as usual.

   But I didn't care, not at that moment in time anyway. Did that make me a bad son?

   I just had to sit there, and think.

   Because Ava Perfect is driving me mad, in every single way possible. And I fricking love every single second of it.

-AVA-

   After Alex drove off into the night, I turned back to my door and somehow, I'm not sure how in the current state I was in, managed to open it with the keys in my hand.

   Upon walking in, I absent-mindedly placed the keys down onto the side table, and the only thing that managed to bring me back into reality again was the sound of the door slamming shut behind me.

   'Alex... Just kissed me.' All I could think.

   Just those words, going around, and around, and around my head nonstop.

   I leaned against the door behind me, beaming the brightest smile ever as I replayed it again in my head, my hands to my mouth. I couldn't stop smiling!

   Heck, I haven't stopped smiling this entire week!

   I manage to make my way upstairs, yet again I have no idea how since I was all in my head, not even in reality anymore. All I kept thinking about was his hands on my waist, and then in my hair, and his lips against mine. The smell of his aftershave and the look of relief on his face when I showed him how the past wasn't going to affect us. The entire night just came together and ended perfectly, if you'll excuse the bad pun.

   I sat myself down onto the edge of my head, a huge smirk still occupying my lips. I put my hands over my face, shaking it. I couldn't believe this was happening. I felt like I was a high school kid getting her first crush, and getting her first ever boyfriend. The feeling of nervousness, excitement, and happiness, I was revelling in all of those emotions.

   But in reality I was a 22 year old single mother, and somehow that made this feeling even better.

   Because when I thought there was no chance of me to ever feel this way, it does, and with the best possible person as well.

   My heart still flutters at the thought of the past few minutes. I know, incredibly sappy right? My stomach had managed to calm down, the butterflies finally resting, and all that I was left feeling was incredibly relieved, and again, stupidly happy.

   "I need to go to bed before I drive myself crazy with these thoughts," I laugh to myself before I stand up again, turning the lamp of my bedroom on to stop myself sitting in the dark like a looney. It was definitely been a goodnight, thanks for that incredible Alex Darkbloom.
